" SOLDIHRS—The Marshal Commander in Chid' communicates to you the events which have talon place in the North he will 'communicate to I , oti: both those which are favourable, and those whkh' are adverse to the arms of the country, convinced that the greater the exertions and services which are required may be, the greater will be the ardour and enthusiasm of the army, antithat it will display a valour, not only equal to the exigencies of the time, but worthy of the Portuguese troops.' The nister informs the army that the enemy,' having pos , iessed himself of Braga, advanced, slowly and'eatt tiously, against the city of Oporto, meeting hut, with little resistance by the way, as the insubordi nation of the people rendered useless their own va lour, and the efforts of their Officers to retard or _prevent their advance. 41 On the 26th the enemy arrived in the vicinity of Oporto: On the 27th they made some warm attacks, which were repulsed by, the intrepidity of our troops. They continued their attacks on the following day with the same success; but on the 29th the distrust which had arisen between the people and the army, causing and increasing that anarchy and confusion, which it ever produces, ren dered inetiedual all the endeavours of the Officers as well Portuguese as English,, to dirtel the opera tions of the great force which was in the city. The enemy entered with little. loss. Much as the Mar shal regrets the loss of that important City,. he feels still more the aleming cause 10, MAIM{ it ►s to be at tributed. Let it be a warning to the rest of the kingdom,, to avoid the fatal consequences of anarchy and insubordination. " The great city of Oporto, defended by 24,000 men, with trenches ' and redoubts furnilhed • with more than 200 pieces of artillery fell an easy cOtt- quest to an enemy of little more than half the num ber of its garrison, notwithstanding tl►e people and their defenders were loyal and brave, because that enemy had been able to produce, under 'hit :Treat% ance 01 patriotism, disunion, and finally, a general insubordination : the consequences of which must ever be tuna tuitions, The - Marshal therefore hopes that the army will perceive that we ought always to distrust those who have been with the French, ot . the►r partizans, and whatever reports they may pro pagate, as they are undoubtedly paid by the enemy to promote confusion and distrust—the arms with which they make the most dangerous use. " At the same time and in tbet same manner the enemy made themselves masters of the bridge of Villa Nova. Let the troops be subordinate to their Officers, and Observe Strict military discipline, and ,our country will have nothing to fear. The enemy is in possession of Oporto) do he was of Chaves ; but this place be has lost again, with more than 1500 1110 P• including prisoners and killed. Brigadier Ge neral Francisco da Silveira informs me, that he has,. taken 12 pieces of artillery, a great quantity of arms and ammunition, and so horses. Recollect, sol dier, that this Officer, when prudence dictated to hint the necessity of retiring from Chaves where, from the nature and number of his forcei, he was incapable of resisting the enemy, those pretended patriots raised a cry of treason against him, and in doted a great number of the despisers of discipline to attempt the defence of that place, which they sou' rendered without firing a gun, with the troops that bad been deceived by them ; but the firmness 'of the GeneralsaVed the rest of the army, and placed it in a situation to acquire greater glory, and merit the thanks of the Country. " with great pleasure the Marshal gives tliis public testimony of his great approbation of the eon. du& of Brigadier General Silveira, which he will, with equal satiaaaion,lity before his Royal Illigh 7 ness th e Prince Regent. " The Marshal - cannot stiffie;ently warn the'pee.. ple and the troops against chose who, assuming the' appearance of patriot hint, are in • reality. leaders of se dition ; nor can ne sufficiently recernmend union at d . confidence for every 'thitig may behoped front the 'sentiments of loyaltyotalonr, 'and enthusiasm, whiehianimate the nation in'defence•of the country.
